Is there any chance that such statements could be expanded upon? I'm not asking for peer-reviewed studies posted in the thread, just a little expasion.

I could bet on Federer every match, win 80% of the time, and potentially be losing money.

And where does this hypothetical scenario ever fit into the conversation? He started an argument with someone else over a casting complaint, not the handicap on a website like Pinnacle Sports. Then I stated that I bet on Nerchio, he stated that the decision was not a smart one, and I disagreed.

I'm pretty sure that is his point. After all, if you win 65% of your bets, and he is making the argument that you could still be -EV, the only possible explanation is that you aren't taking bets with the correct odds.

Obviously you can win the majority of your bets and still lose money in the long run. That is the point of the heuristic system. It evaluates the matchups independently of the betting odds so you can benefit from correct decisions rather than elaborate risk management. Honestly all you need to do is get more than 52% of your bets correct and you will at the least break even.

The odds in the ForGG-Nerchio were at roughly ~1.71/2.4, although by my estimation they should have been ~2.2/1.8.

Too much drones imo. 100 army supply is far from enough vs 150 and sometime even 165 terran army supply. When Nestea puts spines everywhere, he replaces the drones, while most zergs don't. When you fight MMM you can be 100 vs 150 supply, because 1 infestor will kill 10 supply. When you fight the whole terran arsenal you can't do that because you lose more than you can mine while killing few, even on 5+ bases your economy will slowly die..

Did you ever wonder why Korea is GMT+9? The sun rises in the east, so the timezones should start in the eastern hemisphere, yet they don't. This is a secret plan created by most* members of FEA(Foreign Esports Alliance), to weaken koreans. You see, jetlag recovery time is directly proportional with distance from GMT. So, a british player would recover instantly, while koreans take ridiculous time to recover. GMT was set in the UK so it wouldn't blatantly favor one of the members of FEA, but handicap the koreans greatly.
This entire plan was a response to the korean genetic mutations which enable them to sweat way less than foreigners. They assumed we wouldn't notice, but ToD, a prominent foreign researcher, managed to figure it out so the FEA could react in time and restore balance once again.
* Ukraine didn't agree to the plan

As the WCS is demonstrating, reputation alone can cause opponents to straight-up lose and make dumb mistakes. Reputation is also tied to playstyle, which may or may not be the same as what is advertised. It factors into mindgames although those are largely unpredictable. But most betting odds are directly based on reputation, which I bothered to bring it up in the first place.
Originally this conversation came up around the idea that betting on Nerchio was a good bet. I don't know why we are talking about my personal betting habits.
